SYMPTOMS

On a Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer, the 1394b FireWire device usually runs at S100 speed. After you apply hotfix 885222 and update the registries according to the instructions in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 885222, the device runs at S400 speed.

However, after you upgrade the computer to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), the device no longer runs at S400 speed. Instead it reverts to S100 speed. Therefore, the performance of the 1394b FireWire device is greatly decreased.
